Bumping this thread because I saw it a long time ago and thought it would be a cool idea, but never thought it would go anywhere.

Adding these three units would clearly mess with the balance and so I'm definitely sure they won't be added to base FAF (at least without some discussion and maybe tweaking stats) but I'd love to see these integrated into a mod.

Also, it was said

There are actually more exclusive units than just what's been mentioned here.

Which I didn't know about. Is that true? What were they?

Okay that sounds interesting.
It would be cool to see them in the future.
How many exclusive Units has the Xbox Version exactly?

Well actually I had investigated this idea based on a DVDRIP of the XBox version of Supcom and it turned out the .SCD could be opened (they're just weird ZIP with misplaced headers). We could maybe get those units out of the Xbox version "as is", but also maybe more.

Hello ,

I know this is an really old Thread so sorry for posting, but I have integrate all three Units into my Future Battlefield Pack but with small differences.
You can find it on Moddb or here on FAF for download.

Note: The 3D Models of these Exclusive Units are modelled near close to the Originals.
I have use the Icons as an Base for remodeling them.
So they could have small differences but they are to 90% identical to them.

As I know so far the current Brewlan Mod Version 0.8 adds an other Version as mine of the UEF Anti Artillery Shield into the Game.
Unfortunately that is the only one Exclusive Unit which has been added into Brewlan.
So it would be better to check out both Mods, if you want to play them.

Best regards
CDRMV

this was for vanilla i believe, could always take a unit from black-ops to make it fair (and maybe given them an experimental while we're at it )

Did the little unit pack include any units for phim? I used to have the xbox version, but I'm not sure where it went.

because UEF turtle isn't strong enough x)

with some balancing it's not a bad idea though

hmm.
if the mortar is becoming useful then there would be a big balance problem again because cybran would have a disadvantage on land maps.
that will lead to a lot of crying and a wave of balance changes and that would be... annoying.
so just implementing new units doesnt easily work if 1 faction gets a shield the other one a arty and the 3rd one a naval unit.
you can say that the cybran submarine is just as useful as the mortar or the shield but on a landmap they cant use it.
So implementing these units would propably cause a lot of things to be rebalanced...

Cool beans, that'd be awesome, but do anything sketchy and get a legal hailstorm coming down on FAF.
I would like to see this community around for a long, long time.

Make it easier if you have the source code

Converting compiled code is nearly impossible, emulating it is. There is no XBOX 360 emulator so far, and I don't think it would be marvelous to play FA on that

You should sell it, game developers spend a lot of money to port things back and forth !

While I worked for Crytek I took a look the the Xbox team for porting the game they had some special tools afforded to make it easier ... Indeed I have to make some investigation ...

Did they change the engine while porting on xbox ? It could be a good thing to take a closer look at it

For the new unit we need the blueprint to be able to add it !! can you post it in a zip or something like that ?
